I'm still trying to figure out some of the titles.  Can't believe the two awesome colors, both immediately recognizable as classics!!  All in all, a nice mix of artists and characters.

Unprecedentedly, Topps has returned all my return sketches to me today.  So I guess I will put 'em up on ebay over the weekend.
On the color cards, I did two of each character.  But on the fat baby character, I only had one blank card left at the end...so there is
only one color sketch of that one.



Jay, these are amazing.  My favorite is definitely the Jerkins kid.
Still looking for Series 17

Topps returns them to the artist. The artists can then sell them for their own profit.

If 2012 is any indication, you should have 50 outstanding posts before the week's through! ;)

The detail is so incredible! Is it rude to ask if some sketch artists use magnification when they draw? The card is so darn small

I don't use any magnification but I should! My eyes are about 3 inches from the card when I'm painting it! That's good news for my optometrist. He's getting rich from me sketching!

Here are my 3 sketches that arrived today:





Neil, if you happen to see this, I have been active in Boy Scouts since I was 10 years old and have been getting BOY'S LIFE magazine most of the time since then so I really appreciate the BUM'S LIFE sketch. It has found a good home.
